I had to throw away an old pair of jeans today. It was tough, because the jeans were several years old, very comfortable, and definitely cool looking.
They had to be thrown away because I caught my toe on a small hole which had developed on the knee and it ripped into a much larger hole. I would have liked to repair them, but there was no hope.
Unfortunately all my other jeans are very new and it will take a long time for them to become as comfortable as that pair.
